At first I thought camcity.com was some very old camsite that somehow
I had missed finding for years, but a little digging around showed that
though this domain has been doing something for many years it is only in
the 2012 that it really became an adult webcam chat site as we know it.
I guess the domain name got bought up from someone who previously wanted
to be like "CircuitCity" but selling webcams. Well now the site
sells webcam chat, so it's in my area of interest!

Anyway today camcity.com is a nice small and modern site with a few unique
features that certainly make it worth a look at. Although there are
less than 10 chatrooms running at a time, and I've seen as few as 1, they
are interesting hosts and a good site. The only real problem is that
the pricing of shows is way up there with the major sites like
flirt4free and this seems a bit unreasonable
for a new startup. There is still the chance to use it as a tipping
site so that may still make it reasonable depending on the host and on your
interests.

Their tagline on the logo says "Watch Earn Enjoy", so that's fair enough.
Only they never mention "earn" how much.

There are visitors there and when you go into free chat you get to see
right away how many people are there, around 10 to 20 is common but of those
only a few registered paying members, more than half are guests or silent
members who don't speak up.

I've seen one of the hosts struggle for quite a bit to get her cam to
broadcast. But at other times video chat has worked fine. The people
in chat have been very forgiving and helpful when tech issues come up and
maybe it was just that moment I was there but I've generally found the viewers
at camcity.com to be a nice group. That isn't to say there are not
the normal beggars and "open chest bb" crowd, but they are not the whole
picture.

On the other hand as well as some nice chatty hosts I found a few dead-bored
and even rude and disinterested ones. Shouldn't make generalizations
I guess.

There are a few strange quirks, like the "filter" system to let you
find the hosts you want to see is generally nice and reasonable but has
some oddities. Like the "age" has a "12-23" choice! Sure hope
that there are no 12 year olds on this site, either side of the camera.
Then under "Region" they have Filter by region Hide Africa Asia/Pacific
Islands Australia Central/South America Europe/Russia North America United
Kingdom . Never seen United Kingdom separate out like that, I
know the Brits don't consider themselves European but still seems strange.
You can actually filter more than that down to "Nationality", but I bet
a lot of chathosts don't want to say their real nationality so this is
probably
not that helpful.

For tipping or privates or group chat you need to have Tokens.

Tokens are around 10 cents each, very slightly cheaper if you buy in
bulk. So a basic token purchase is 200 tokens for $19.99 while for
$74.99 you get 900 tokens which is ever so slightly cheaper. Billing
seems to be going via epoch.

When you are in chat the controls on the whole screen are pretty straightforward,
slightly MFC inspired, but generally smoother working I think. You
can resize and hide parts of the screen you don't need, easily find other
hosts online you want to see and so on.

There are nice simple controls to hide the chat messages of guests and
or basic members, which quickly makes the text chat easier to follow.
And a link in the left menu prompts you to start your own webcam.

Certainly it has potential but a lot of small tweaks need to be done,
and they certainly need more models. Which they are not going to
get unless they provide better info, but more on that in the models
section of the review below.

Although there is a signup form there doesn't seem to be any details
I can find on the payouts and so on. It supports both studios and
individual models. I did talk to one of the hosts in free chat and
she actually didn't have any idea what she was being paid, which seem pretty
strange to me...

As well as the signup link on their site their Twitter account is
encouraging models to go to
http://www.makemoneyoncams.com, but there are no details there.
It does mention payout by Check, Payoneer & Wire transfer, but in the
actual form it also lists Paypal! Oh dear...

I also tried signing up as a Model Recruiting Agent hoping that
would get me some more information, but also never got a reply from
them about that. So hopefully someone can fill me in on that
and I will update the review here.
